The "D" Is Silent...

The first trailer for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained hit the web today. Quite coincidentally, I've been watching a lot of vintage Spaghetti Westerns* over the last couple of weeks, including several that were clearly among Tarantino's inspirations for his forthcoming homage, starring Jaimie Foxx, Chistophe Waltz, Don Johnson and Leonardo DeCaprio.

Keep an eye out for the original "Django," Franco Nero, in the new trailer above. Really looking forward to this one!

* Specifically: The Grand Duel, Keoma, A Bullet For The General, Django Kill!, and Death Rides A Horse.

His taste in entertainment clearly peaked when he was about 15, which certainly explains his embarrassing obsession with James Bond, hardboiled crime fiction, comic books, paperback pulps, space opera, Universal/Hammer/Toho Monsters, sword & sorcery sagas, old genre TV shows and vintage B-movies.
